Reminder: Two online courses, Drake University Online Information Security Awareness and Prevent Sexual Violence Together, were due to be completed Dec. 7. If you haven’t completed them, see the information below.  An additional course, Prevent Discrimination and Harassment Together, is to be completed by March 31.

These new online programs underscore Drake’s commitment to the safety and security of our people. You’ll view realistic scenarios based in a higher education setting and interactively answer related questions. Training is completed at your own pace and the courses may be accessed multiple times. Courses retain previously completed content and will return you to the place you last viewed course information. The Blackboard system will electronically record your status as “completed” when you finish each course.
